The Art & Science of Our Unique Approach
When it comes to getting pregnant, one of the first things couples want to know is, “What are my chances of success?” At Reimagined Fertility, we have achieved an 80% success rate in helping couples conceive successfully. We often get asked how we calculate that number, what makes our program so successful, and what sets us apart from conventional fertility treatments.
Let’s dive into the top questions we get—so we can get you on the road to having the family of your dreams!
Q: What is the average natural pregnancy rate for couples without fertility issues?
A: Your best chances for conceiving naturally are during your 20s, when fertility is at its peak. As you age, your fertility naturally declines. A healthy 30-year-old has about a 20% chance of getting pregnant each month, but by the time you’re 40, that chance drops to just 5%. By age 45, very few women conceive naturally. [1, 2]
According to the American Pregnancy Association, the average monthly pregnancy rate for couples without known fertility issues is about 20% each month. [3] Over the course of a year, around 85-90% of couples will conceive naturally.
Q: How does that compare to success rates for couples with infertility?
A: Couples facing infertility have a much lower monthly success rate, estimated at around 2-4% per cycle. [4] Without targeted treatment, only about 20-30% of these couples will achieve a live birth over 1-2 years. [5]
Infertility affects approximately 1 in 7 couples trying to conceive. [5] The root causes are evenly split:
- 30% due to female factors
- 30% due to male factors
- 30% due to a combination of both partners
This is why, in our practice, we focus on improving the fertility of BOTH partners—not just the female.
Q: What are IVF’s success rates?
A: IVF can be a helpful option for some couples, but success rates vary widely based on factors like age, underlying diagnosis, and clinic.
A 2021 report from the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology (SART) indicates that the average live birth rate per IVF cycle is about:
- 51% for women under 35
- 38.3% for women 35-37
- 25.1% for women 38-40
- 12.7% for women 41-42
- 4.1% for women over 42 [6]
On average, it takes most couples 6 IVF cycles to achieve a successful pregnancy. [7]
That said, we have found that couples who go through our program before IVF have a much higher success rate. Why? Because we bolster overall health and reproductive function, making it easier for the body to prioritize conception and maintain a healthy pregnancy. By improving egg and sperm quality, balancing hormones, and addressing inflammation, our approach enhances the success of ART (Assisted Reproductive Technology) interventions like IVF and IUI.
Q: What if I’ve been told I have “unexplained infertility”?
A: Unexplained infertility can be particularly frustrating. Studies suggest that 10-30% of infertility cases are classified as unexplained. [8] With a conventional approach, live birth rates for unexplained infertility tend to be lower than for those with a clear diagnosis, ranging from 15-40% over 1-2 years, depending on age and treatment protocol. [9]
However, we don’t believe in “unexplained” infertility—there is always a reason.
With our functional fertility approach, we seek to resolve root causes, which often include:
- Hormonal imbalances
- Inflammation
- Nutrient deficiencies
- Toxic exposures
- Gut health issues
- Autoimmune conditions
- Chronic stress and nervous system dysregulation
By addressing these root causes, we are able to achieve a significantly higher success rate than conventional approaches alone.
Q: What does Reimagined Fertility's 80% success rate mean?
A: Reimagined Fertility has achieved an 80% success rate in helping the couples we accept conceive naturally – even those who have struggled with unexplained infertility or failed IVF cycles. This means that 4 out of 5 couples who complete our comprehensive functional medicine protocol are able to achieve a healthy pregnancy, often within a few cycles of finishing the program.
Q: How is the 80% success rate calculated?
A: Our 80% success rate is based on real outcomes from both our group programs and private practices, drawn from over 40 years of combined clinical experience between Dr. Nashat Latib and Dr. Christina Massinople.
In our Reimagined Fertility organization, we maintain this success rate by carefully selecting couples we believe we can help with our signature protocol. We then closely monitor key metrics such as program completion, lifestyle changes, and pregnancies achieved.
Program completion: We track data—including group call attendance, videos watched, supplements purchased, and resource downloads—as indications of program compliance.
Implementation of lifestyle changes: Our clients self-report their dietary and lifestyle changes, and we often see measurable improvements in lab markers like reduced inflammation, optimal hormone levels, and improved egg and sperm quality. These changes correlate with higher pregnancy success rates—whether through natural conception or ART.
Pregnancies achieved: Since 2021, hundreds of couples have completed our protocol. Of those, 80% have gone on to conceive naturally, usually within 3-6 months of finishing the program. They happily report their pregnancies and subsequent births to us.

Q: Why don’t you have a peer-reviewed study published?
A: Conducting a peer-reviewed study on a multi-faceted functional medicine program like ours is logistically challenging. Peer-reviewed studies typically isolate a single variable, but our approach is holistic—it addresses multiple body systems at once, from gut health to hormone balance to nervous system regulation. We also are not in a regulated environment (such as a facility or your home) to independently ensure compliance. Therefore, designing a properly controlled trial to isolate the effects and generate study results would be difficult.
However, our protocol is grounded in the science of functional medicine, which does have a significant body of research behind it. We hope to partner with academic institutions in the future to formally study our approach. In the meantime, our real-world clinical results speak for themselves.
Q: What goes into your signature protocol?
A: Our 12-week protocol is a comprehensive functional medicine approach to optimizing fertility naturally.
Key components include:
- Functional lab testing to identify potential root causes of fertility blocks
- Personalized nutrition plan to support hormonal balance and egg/sperm quality
- Targeted supplements to address nutrient deficiencies and support fertility
- Lifestyle strategies to reduce toxic exposure and manage stress
- Mind-body techniques to support emotional well-being and resilience
By addressing these core pillars of health in a systematic way, we help couples create the optimal internal environment for conception to occur naturally.
Why 12 weeks? It takes about three months for the body to successfully detoxify, rebalance hormones, and optimize reproductive function. We recommend our clients begin the protocol 3-4 months before trying to conceive, whether naturally or via ART.
Q: Why is this approach so successful?
A: Our high success rate comes from our unique functional medicine approach. Instead of focusing solely on the reproductive system, we look at the whole body. We optimize gut health, reduce inflammation, and support the nervous system—because when the body is in survival mode, it deprioritizes reproduction.
By resolving underlying fertility “blocks”—like stress, toxin overload, and inflammation—the body shifts into a fertile, receptive state. This non-hostile environment is essential for conception and sustaining a healthy pregnancy.
Because we tailor our protocol to each couple’s specific needs and support the body’s natural ability to heal and come into balance, we help optimize fertility from the inside out. The result is a much higher chance of natural conception, even for couples who have been told their only option is IVF.
